WHO Regions

"The Member States of the World Health Organization (WHO) are grouped into six
regions (see map below). These regions are organizational groupings and, while
they are based on geographical terms, are not synonymous with geographical
areas. Note that the WHO regions are not the same as those of the United
Nations.

Each WHO region has a regional office. Regional offices are actively
developing and implementing chronic disease prevention and control strategies in
association with country offices as part of WHO's global response to the
prevention and control of chronic, noncommunicable diseases. The development of
these strategies is at different stages in each region. See above the websites
of regional offices for more information on strategies."
